DD is 2 soon and is obsessed with Guinea pigs (childminder has them). Obsessed. I'm pro pet and thinking of getting some for her birthday. Here's my idea of Guinea pig care -
Hutch at night, run in the day. Feed and water once a day, clean out once a week. Is that all?
Can they live in pairs? I wouldn't want to keep one on its own. Do they like living with rabbits? Are they a massive tie or if we go away can someone else just chuck food at them for a few days?
Will I forever be trying to stop dogs from eating them? Do they need any regular vet care?
Thank you!
